Case #01 [Accidental dictation]

[cantacquityou]

 [Over the journal system, many may hear of the panic of one utterly confounded prosecutor, faintly pleading for directions.]

 

 

 

 ----tomfoolery?! What do you mean I, 'can't get back'? Why, that's preposterous!

 

You, over there. Please, tell me at once! I...I have a briefing to attend in but ten minutes! What could you possibly --No! I have no time for wanton merrymaking! I must get to the courthouse immediately!

 

Since when did eveyone become so miserly with mere directions? I simply want to know how to -- would you please cease that at once!

 

 

 

[...Someone is definitely new here.]

[cantacquityou]

You refer to this castle as if it were some sort of sentient being.

[noblefive]

It might be. [Jorge shrugs]

We have no clue what this place is.

[cantacquityou]

And how many of 'us' are there?

[noblefive]

More than a hundred, I have no doubt.

[cantacquityou]

And how long have you been here?

[noblefive]

Just a couple of weeks, sir.

[He then offers his hand.]

Noble Five. A pleasure.

[cantacquityou]

A fine, albeit unusual name. Sounds rather imperial.


[returns the courtesy with a...smaller hand.]


Miles. Miles Edgeworth. The pleasure is mine.

[noblefive]

Feel free to call me Jorge, if you want. Noble Five is just a callsign.

[cantacquityou]

Ah, yes. Jorge. And you are -?

[noblefive]

UNSC Special Ops. I'm a SPARTAN-II Commando.

[A pause] I'm human. Mostly.

[cantacquityou]

...Well, that's something we have in common, at least.

[noblefive]

You mostly human, too?

You look like a regular guy.

[cantacquityou]

That is to say, humanity is our common denominator. Even though many have called me a demon.

[noblefive]

Called you a demon? Why?

[Heightened senses, ftw]

[cantacquityou]

...A long story. Nothing entirely important. Though I assure you, I truly am not.

[noblefive]

You don't look like a demon to me.

[cantacquityou]

Neither did some other fellow I met recently, until he apparently 'orbed' into my vicinity.

[noblefive]

Orbed? Never heard of it. Magic?

[cantacquityou]

I did not hear of it until I arrived, either. Some fellow who claimed to be a 'demon' simply magically manifested himself in front of me in a flurry of illumination. I'd have thought he appeared rather 'normal' myself were it not for that.

[noblefive]

Can't say I've had much experience of the magical residents of the castle.

He won't be dangerous, though. If he was, the Peace Patrol would've gotten him by now.

[cantacquityou]

...He did not seem dangerous.

[noblefive]

He probably is dangerous. We're all dangerous, me especially.

[cantacquityou]

[noblefive]

Do I look cute and cuddly to you? I could easily kill you in any number of ways.

I just don't want to.

[cantacquityou]

I take it I should be grateful for that.
